“I got the macaroni and cheese cheeseburger and it was delicious. So big I couldn’t fit it in my mouth! The fries were good too.”
“Local West makes a great cuban with tender pork and delicious bread. I had enough to easily split with someone. Also, their sweet potato fries are awesome! However, my wife's burger was overcooked to the point of being quite dry, which is a shame because it was flavorful. This place is worth coming back for a second chance, though.”
“Great place to get some food, maybe the best fries I have ever had, and the cheesestake was fantastic with enough food on the plate for two meals. I don't think I have ever seen my son eat a burger so fast. I had to tell him to slow down, "Don't choke."I will definitely be back .”
